THe FF Dynasty - Dynasty Buy Lows + Must Stashes - 2026 Dynasty Fantasy Football

Converted wide receiver to running back with huge frame reminiscent of Derek Henry; gets the chance to learn under Henry in Baltimore; picked by Ravens owner, suggesting organizational confidence; interesting deep-league stash prospect with potential swing in the offense to see playing time.

AJ Barner is a 24-year-old tight end in his third year with the Seattle Seahawks who is averaging 89% snap percentage this season and last year in the high 80s. He finally saw increased usage on Sunday Night Football with easier looks, intermediate passes, and screen opportunities. He has upside for flash touchdowns via the Seahawks' tush push red-zone play. He is up for a contract extension, which helps his dynasty value. The speaker ranks him at tight end 16 in dynasty, well ahead of community rankings (TE27), and prefers him over Jalen McMillan, Tank Dell, and Isaac Tesla.

Ranked WR47 in community rankings but valued at WR35 by the source; has experienced a dramatic value collapse since signing a $112 million extension in February; positioned as a buy-low candidate due to Colts entering a soft rebuild with Quentin Nelson traded, no future first-round pick, and likely cap constraints preventing Josh Downs extension; Pierce and Tyler Warren are the only locked-in skill position players, positioning Pierce for a lion's share of opportunity regardless of regime change; comparatively undervalued versus Xavier Worthy and Keyon Coleman despite superior opportunity and contract commitment.

Buy-low candidate in dynasty; late second-round pick acceptable, mid-second fine. Barring injury, Pierce has significantly more potential scoring upside than handcuff alternatives like Emmitt Johnson and Mike Washington Jr. in the same value range. Trading DJ Moore (before he turns 30) for Pierce is a worthwhile deal to get ahead of the curve.

Mentioned alongside Jalen Waddle as part of an underperforming wide receiver room in a deep 16-team dynasty league, contributing to the speaker's decision to trade for additional production.

Allen is a 22-year-old running back still in his rookie deal with multiple years remaining; despite his youth and contract length, he has shown good flashes and is currently performing at a backend starter level in the league, making him a solid long-term stash with upside when his contract eventually expires.

Potential trade target to move away from before he turns 30 years old in exchange for younger upside like Alec Pierce. Suggested as a reasonable dynasty trade to get ahead of the aging curve.

Mills is a quarterback entering free agency this offseason; while he is not expected to land a starting role elsewhere, he has been pretty solid and could provide spot-start duty value in dynasty formats.

Eli Stowers is a forgotten soldier tight end who had a bad offseason narrative but has strong historical precedent: former Mackie winners have nearly a 100% hit rate, including Tyler Warren, Brock Bowers, Mark Andrews, and TJ Hawkinson—all top-10 finishers at tight end. With Jalen Hurts out, Philadelphia may look to the future and give Stowers more play before the season ends. The speaker would give a late second-round pick for him in a vacuum, especially in tight-end premium leagues. He is valued next to players like Wandale Robinson, Devon Veilet, Jaden Reed, and Jacoby Myers, whose best dynasty days are likely behind them.

Handcuff option in the same dynasty value range as Alec Pierce and Mike Washington Jr., but lacks the scoring potential of Pierce. Mentioned as a viable handcuff but not preferred over Pierce.

Handcuff option valued similarly to Mike Washington Jr. in dynasty; positioned in comparable range to Alec Pierce but lacks the scoring potential of Pierce as a locked-in skill position player.

Greg Dulcich is a forgotten soldier tight end who started slow but is now bouncing back after four years of being relatively useless in the league. He has received decent target share recently: seven targets in week three, five targets in week four, and five targets in week five. In tight-end premium scenarios, he is relatively cheap and could provide solid flex production. He should be a nice easy button for Willis in the Dolphins offense as Douglas gets healthy and Bell gets going. Recent trades show him going for straight-up thirds or in packages like Higby, Schultz, and Dulcich for a second and a fourth.

Buy-low candidate from a bad offensive ecosystem where he's essentially free and nobody cares. Playing significant snaps; if Ward improves, Helm's scoring potential naturally improves. Currently cheap and undervalued due to poor team environment, but has upside if situation changes.

Valued very highly in redraft leagues, with that high redraft valuation trickling into dynasty where he's already being drafted as a first-round pick in some leagues; the redraft hype is driving dynasty demand and perception.

Potentially being traded away as the Colts enter a soft rebuild; his departure would leave Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce as the only locked-in skill position players for the franchise.

Jordan Addison is a forgotten soldier in a contract year who has been relegated to the bottom of rosters despite being a former Butkus winner and top-25 finisher in his first two NFL seasons (WR23 and WR21). He has been a product of an unfortunate quarterback environment in Minnesota. The speaker views him as an awesome number-two receiver who needs a change of scenery to be used properly, and would acquire him for a second-round pick or multiple third-round picks. His talent is intact despite off-field issues, and he remains relatively young with room to grow.

Unlikely to receive a contract extension from the Colts due to cap constraints as the team enters a soft rebuild; his potential departure further solidifies Alec Pierce's opportunity share.

Ranked one spot away from Alec Pierce in dynasty value despite minimal production; source questions his dynasty valuation relative to Pierce, noting Coleman has only caught tipped touchdown passes and had two games of relevance this year, making his ranking unjustifiable compared to a player with a $112 million extension.

Buy-low candidate grouped with other cheap, undervalued players in poor offensive ecosystems. Mentioned as a name to target at the higher end of the value range.

Mac Jones is valued at dirt cheap prices in superflex formats, comparable to Seth McCown, Jalen Wright, and Alvin Kamara on community rankings. At 28 years old, he has shown productivity in Jacksonville and San Francisco and has a bright future in the NFL. The speaker would trade almost any second-round pick for Mac Jones as a lottery ticket, noting that successful quarterbacks have gone through Shanahan's quarterback rehab (e.g., Sam Darnold). Multiple teams could be interested in him as a bridge option if they miss on high draft picks or need a veteran starter mid-season.

Potentially a bridge quarterback option with limited long-term dynasty value; positioned in similar valuation range as other Colts rebuild players but lacks the upside of locked-in skill position players like Alec Pierce.

Free agent coming this year; had some solid run last season as well, making him a potential depth option to monitor in free agency.

Handcuff option in the same dynasty value range as Alec Pierce and Emmitt Johnson, but lacks the scoring potential of Pierce. Mentioned as a viable handcuff but not preferred over Pierce.

Handcuff option valued similarly to Emmitt Johnson in dynasty; positioned in comparable range to Alec Pierce but lacks the scoring potential of Pierce as a locked-in skill position player.

Quinton Johnston is a hot-and-cold wide receiver in a contract year (or with a fifth-year option exercised) who has been very efficient when targeted but has not had a resurgence with the Chargers' struggling offense. The speaker is not interested in sending second-round picks for him but would be fine acquiring him for a pocket of third-round picks. The Chargers have done a poor job of utilizing him to his full potential, and he remains a player with talent who could benefit from the right price and situation.

Not worth sending second-round picks for in dynasty, but a pocket of third-round picks is acceptable; there are other players on the open market that some prefer, but Johnston is a fine target at the right price.

Expected to depart the Chargers in the offseason; speaker believes this departure is likely to happen. His exit would open opportunity for other Chargers receivers.

Ray Davis is mentioned as a liked running back stash option, though he still has two years remaining on his rookie deal, making him less immediately relevant than expiring-contract backs in the current stashing conversation.

Tucker is an expiring contract running back who has shown glimpses of being a good player; his upcoming free agency makes him an interesting stash candidate in dynasty formats.

Bigsby is an expiring contract running back coming off his rookie deal this year; despite a recent injury, he is viewed as a solid player worth stashing as a potential breakout candidate when his contract situation creates opportunity.

Expiring contract makes him super cheap and free in dynasty; nobody cares about him. Very athletic tight end with upside at minimal cost.

Difficult to start even up to this point due to poor offensive ecosystem. Represents the challenge of starting players from bad environments.

Harris is a polished prospect who has looked good in short stints and represents a buy-low opportunity as the Chargers' receiving core dwindles with expected departures this offseason; with the Chargers offense poised to improve and Harris still on his rookie deal, he has wide receiver two upside and time to develop.

Buy-low candidate on the Chargers; positioned as a good piece to acquire given the team's unpopularity with investors and Quentin Johnston's expected departure, which should create opportunity for Harris.

Harris was starting to take on a bigger role with the Chargers before a recent injury; the team appears to be investing in him as a potential next-level contributor, with confidence he will continue to evolve throughout the remainder of the season.

Dynasty value depends on league format and depth. In shallow formats like start-nine, better to take profits and move on; late second-round pick value likely exceeds Trey Tucker's value. In deep formats (16-team, start-10), worth holding or trading for. Speaker traded for him in a deep league.

Buy-low candidate in deep dynasty formats; acquired for a 2/3 round pick (effectively a 4th in 16-team leagues). Has shown scoring bursts despite Raiders' poor team situation; currently benefits from Kirk Cousins connection and garbage-time production. Free agent after 2025, creating upside scenario if he lands with a team that uses him as a featured receiver (e.g., 49ers with Shanahan's screen/end-around schemes). Solid gamble for WR3/flex spot in deep leagues if you lack steady production.

Young wide receiver prospect from Oregon with upside; had solid stretches last year as a receiver despite occasional drop issues; still only 23 years old, meaning he'll be under 25 when his rookie contract expires, providing extended runway for development and future upside beyond his rookie deal.

One of only two locked-in skill position players for the Colts going forward (alongside Alec Pierce) in the team's soft rebuild; positioned to see significant opportunity regardless of regime change.

25-year-old running back (turning 26 in offseason) mentioned in context of Colts rebuild; positioned in similar dynasty value range as Alec Pierce, Malik Willis, Emmitt Johnson, and Mike Washington Jr., but lacks the locked-in opportunity of Pierce.

Mentioned as a comparable dynasty value to Alec Pierce on the open market; positioned in similar valuation range despite Pierce's superior contract commitment and opportunity outlook.
